iTerm 2 prints color of macOS desktop wallpaper instead of overlying window #139

Hello, when using iTerm 2 (with /bin/bash), cliclick cp:x,y prints the color of the macOS desktop wallpaper instead of the overlying window.

When using the default Apple Terminal app (/bin/bash), the same command prints the color of the window as expected.

What could be the cause for this and what setting could I set in iTerm2 to get the color at the given coordination of the overlying window?

Please cf. attached screenshot for more details. screenshot

Thank you in advance

This can happen if iTerm does not have the permission to record the screen (but Terminal has). See the Security system preference.
